Karina Vang The Wrestler

From Fresno to the collegiate stage at Doane, Karina Vang The Wrestler's proving she belongs—stacking wins, taking down ranked opponents, and earning respect every time she competes.

But it’s not just the results… it’s the way she competes. Tough, composed, and relentless.

Athletes like Karina are opening doors and showing the next generation what’s possible.

7th place at Nationals!

This season has been full of ups and downs, but I wouldn’t change a thing. Through every challenge, I’ve learned to be tougher and to push past my fears. I’m so grateful to God for giving me the courage to keep going and surrounding me with people who lift me up when I need it most.

My teammates have become family, and I couldn’t be prouder of the season we had. There’s no other group of girls I’d rather share the mat with. Wrestling has brought so many incredible people into my life, and I’m beyond grateful for every moment.

Can’t wait for next year!

One year ago, the Women's Wrestling team competed in their first dual in program history as they dropped a 25-19 decision to Hastings. Today, the Tigers traveled to Hastings and posted a 24-22 win to collect the first dual win in program history! Congrats ladies and coaches!

These were taken last week from Doane's wrestling tournament they host yearly.

Ranking came out some weeks ago but haven't had a chance to post it up. Karina is top 3 in her weight class and I couldn't be more proud. Good job and keep grinding.

Year 2✨ Truly thankful for having the opportunity to be back at Doane. Here are some pictures from media day. I’m excited to see where this season goes. ‘Sko doane!!
